Maine Woods pellets are a blend of 65% hardwood and 35% softwood. The hardwood provides a longer burning, high heat fuel while the softwood adds extra durabilty creating a strong pellet that will not crumble.
Impressive new test results!

Holy mermaids batman! 
Were did they come from!
My review in words.
I’d have to say outstanding results from what I really expected. Best blended pellet? Well that might be pushing it just a bit(sorry quazi95). Now don’t ripe my head off! The only reason I say that is density and the heat. I know I know! Just increase the feedrate. But I think of everyone when I do a review. I say that because of the poor sole who does have the stove sized right to the home or is limping along with a less affordable stove less efficient. If there pushing the max on the heat settings with a top shelf pellet. They might not be able to keep warm without adding some assistance from the furnace or what have you!
Overall I would say 8 to 8 1/2 out of 10 star rating. Not a shoulder pellet anymore!
I told you I wasn’t the best at writing reviews. I would rather stick to numbers and such! Me and words don’t do well as I hated english in school! So don’t beat me up to bad. After all everyone is entitle to there humble opinion.
Some more facts on how they did in my stove: Just a bit of glazing on the glass light gray in color. 90% wiped off with a brush and the rest was easily removed with plain old tap water! Slight carbon in the burnpot. Just a little chisling to remove. No clumps of ash. Very light texture. They did not slide to well in my hopper. Stove went out with about 5 pounds left to go. I had to push them down and restart the stove. Not a big deal if you keep the hopper full. As you can see I did like them and the biggest Pro is there only $210/ton compaired to others at $245 and up.
My pick of the pellets for 2010-11 My 2nd ton of wood pellets for the 2010-2011 heating season has been received! Maine Woods. I am VERY impressed with these pellets and going to go as far as rating them the #1 best wood pellet for this years heating season. Taking into consideration the price, heat, and ash levels, I think these pellets are by far the best bang for the BTU buck!. Last year I did not burn the Maine woods but have heard that they had a bad batch leave the mill. Then I heard about how they really are making up for it this year by putting out, probably, the best pellet for the money.

Another great burn from Maine Woods. The pellets from this bag were not as dense which you can tell from the level in my hopper. It filled right up to the top. This did not make a difference because the burn was hot and clean. The little ash that was left over was not a problem.
Maine Woods Pellets are a "Whole Tree Chip Pellet". This means that there are variations from batch to batch. I have been lucky with the random bags and the ton which I have burned this year.
Was disappointed with Maine Woods this past season, lots of fines. The company that cleans my stove annually commented on the amount of fines in the auger system. Lots of ash in the burn area compared to the year before.
Bought these from All Basics in Merrimack, NH last year for $260/ton. I burn between 4-6 tons per year. The year I burned 5 tons. I was planning on buying them again this year but they are available. I would recommend them. I have used Energex the past with mixed results. The Maine Wood Pellets have a much more consistent size, much less ash and same as, if not more, heat than Energex. My stove is a Quad-Fire Mt. Vernon AE.
I have an Englander 25-PDV/55-SHP22, purchased in 2001 an run every heating season since. I have burned many different types of pellets over the years. In mid-March I had to replenish with 1 ton of the Maine Wood Pellets. I rate them as poor performers. They have many fines in the bag, produce a lot of coarse ash, leave large clunkers in the burn pot, and don't seem to release a lot of heat. I find that pellets made from 100% softwoods have minimal fines in the bag, burn with less ash, leave only small clunkers after 2-3 days burn, and throw off good heat.
I burned 2 tons of these pellets last year. The price was right at about $260/ton. There was almost NO ash! By far the cleanest burning pellet I have used. Heat output was ok. I thought the Okanagan's where hotter but I couldn't get those anymore. I have a Harman p43 stove
This is our first year with an Accentra stove and we purchased 2 tons of Maine Woods to start. I've tried a couple of bags of other brands too, and so far the MW pellets are performing fine. No issues. I did like the NE pellets as well, and would compare MW as a little less quality at a little less cost. Basically a wash. Either way I live in NE and will stick with a local pellet. - Keep it local.
Awesome pellet! Long, hot burn! Low, airy ash... Great smell! Will finish this season with these in my Quadra Fire CB 1200.
I would never buy these again after burning cubex, spruce point , even crabbes out perform this junk ! They varied from bag to bag lots of fines! I would have thought they'd do a better job than this ! Their softies are a tad better but @ 239 a ton I just as soon anti up a little more and not have the cleaning mess and I seem to burn less with better pellets which means less money spent !
Only the second brand I've tried in my new Quadra Fire Classic Bay 1200. The first ton was Geneva and I have to say the Maine Woods blows Geneva away! Maine Woods produces more heat, way less ash, soot and dust. With Geneva, I had to clean the stove everyday. Glass, ash bin, chip and scrape firepot, vacuum in and out of the stove. The Maine Woods have very little ash, glass stays clean for days and days and they are burning hotter and longer than the Geneva pellet. I love the Maine Woods pellet. I paid $142 a ton for both the Geneva and Maine Woods. I will be finishing my first year as a pellet stove owner using Maine Woods!
I've been burning Maine Woods for 3 years in a row. Burning in a Harmon P61. Steve from Wood Pellet Warehouse is the man! He drops 4 ton a year at my door step so all I have to do is stack em in the basement. I havent tried any of the "Super Premiums" but for the money I will say I love the MWP.
I live in Northern Maine and heat my 1200 sq.ft. living area with a Harman P61A. For my own information I recently tested six brands of wood pellets by burning a measured 1 1/2 lbs. of each and carefully measuring the output air temperature at 2-min. intervals for 30 min. The readings were then averaged and listed below. The stove and hopper were cleaned before each test.
Northest Pellets 186 deg.
Maine Woods Pellets 185 deg.
Energex 179 deg.
Pennington 177 deg.
Maine Choice 174 deg.
Comfy Cozy 172 deg.
I purchased the pellets locally and don't know if the results would vary from bag to bag or lot to lot. I am not recommending any particular brand or guarantee the accuracy. I thought it was an interesting exercise and that I would pass on the results.
I am using Quality One Premium Grade Pellets 2012 and believe this is MWP. Would this be true? 18 tons purchased for the neighborhood and the season is just beginning. The bags I have used the consistency of the pellets were brittle, large amount of flakes, and varied in size. I am thinking 4 months from now it will be saw dust. I am also concerned that the feeding auger will get clogged and burn the motor out when I am away for 24 hrs. Also the burn time of one one bag is 18 hrs vs the 22 hrs I was getting with hardwood pellets. I hope someone can give me some feedback re: concerns.
I would not buy these again this season. We purchased a ton of MWP and one ton of Old Dominion. The MWP do not produce much heat. We have had to throw away at least 4 bags already. The had turned to saw dust before they arrived here. Had to turn on the furnace one night because the MWP couldn't keep up.
2011 Harmon Accentra Insert
BEST results so far. We have been useing a Napolean stove for 3 years now. Theese are the best burning pellet we have used. They burn completly no cloging no build up in the burn pot.
First year burning pellets with a new Harmon Accentra insert, guy from Jay delivered 5 tons of pellets, (Wood Pellet warehouse www.sibwoodpellets.com) Maine Woods, $219 per ton, he unloads them and you don't touch them!! About 5lbs left in hopper when stove goes empty, glass cleans easily once per week with windex, small ash pan fills in two weeks, at ~15 degrees I need to kick the furnace on as the temp in the house gets to 65, 4 bedroom two story house. I have used one ton in one month (installed in November) clean the pot aprox every 3 days no issues, cleaned the stove once so far, not very dirty. Very happy with stove and pellets.
We have a Harman PF100. Very little ash, burns very clean. Good whole pellets with very little fines. Very happy with them. My daughter burns them in a Breckwell Maverick stove and also has had the same results.
Picked up 4 bags of MWP and 4 bags of Pro Pellets to test out in an Enviro Empress. I wasn't too impressed with the MWP, a shoulder pellet at best and ashy. The Pro Pellets burnt much better in my stove.
For the '10-'11 season, I burned 6 tons of pellets. One ton of Maine Woods. In comparison to Okanagan, Heartland, Spruce pointe, these pellets were far inferior. They produced the most ash and increased my cleanings. Okanagan was the best product to date.
I am totally confused as I have had nothing but issues with this pellet. We live in Maine and I always try to purchase from Maine companies, but we are completely dissatisfied with these pellets.
Long pellets and a lot of fines has created constant clogging. Maybe I got a bad batch, but we purchased 3 pallets in November and are now stuck screening each bag before use.
The company offered to replace which shows great customer service, but we stacked 3 tons in our basement and dont feel like carrying them back out now.
I purchased 2 tons of these back in December 2010. I have already burned 1 ton. They burn good and hot. The ash is minimal. My biggest complaint is the amount of fines in the bag. Honestly though that is very little to complain about. Over all these pellets burn hot. For the money you can't beat them.
Best pellet I've used for less than $250 a ton. Very little ash, very little fines, burn as clean as Barefoot, ignite quickly with little sooting, no clinkers
I am very impressed with Maine Pellets. I have tried many different brands out there and these really do put out the heat...low ash...and consistent. I had read some troubling reviews that had made me want to stay far away from these pellets. I would say that this year they have the kinks worked out...so try them again...I tried a few bags on a whim and was so impressed I purchased 2 tons. I have a 2000 plus sq. ft. house and it stays warm and toasty. My wife is very happy and that goes a long way...it was 12 degrees when I woke up this morning and my living room was 73 and the other rooms downstairs were 70. Thanks for a great pellet.
I already had my pellets for the burning season, and a full oil tank. I decided I could afford to try your product when the guy in Jay gave an offer too good to refuse. So far, I have burned about 10 bags of your new Pellets. I want to tell you they are burning great! Not at all the pellet I had known before. For the past 2 years, I've been burring Energex from Canada. They cost more, but gave me a dependable burn.
Given a choice, I would prefer to keep my business close to home. If you manage to keep the quality up and the prices competitive, I'll be buying my next burning season's pellets from your company.
I have a Napoleon pellet stove. In the past with Energex, I had had to clean clean the glass about every day. Usually on the 3ed day I have to remove a crumbly "bird's nest" of ash from the burn pot. This year, I added an outside air connection to the stove. That is when I started burning my new ton of Athens. Wow! no ash in the burn pot on any day. Glass needs to be cleaned on day 3, even then not as bad as it was on day one before. Wipes right off with a paper towel. Pellets are dust free and do not crumble when you roll them between you fingers. I want you to know that when I hear some "potty mouth" talk about your product, I am quick to tell them to contact you directly. Things have changed up there, and who better to explain it to them but you.
I purchased three tons for the 2009 season and got plenty of experience cleaning my stove.(every three days) The was also very low compared to other pellets I used. I would not recomend to anyone.
burned 6 tons of them '09-'10 season, high ash, whenever the auger was turning there were quite a few sparks.
I bought another three tons for this season, I read that they have a new team in charge at the plant and a new blend of wood, the new bag only says premium wood pellets and doesn't mention Maine Woods anywhere on it.
Good for Spring or early fall, but the ash content is excessive and terrible soot build up. The upside is its a slow burner. For me though won't buy again
